Portable Space: Small Peasant Girls Farm to Get Rich

Chapter 183
Xiao House.

Patriarch of the Xiao family, Xiao Qiu's elder brother, Xiao Jinhong looked at the always restless Xiao Qiu, his eyes darkened a bit.

Feeling his elder brother's scrutiny, Xiao Qiu lowered his head, feeling panicked in his heart.

"Wan Lizheng, my younger brother is being unreasonable, please forgive me."

Xiao Jinhong put away his gloomy face, bowed towards Wan Huaimin, and confessed his self-blame.

"It's okay, I came here for the compensation money, I wonder if Patriarch Xiao knew about it?" Wan Huaimin waved his hand and said bluntly.

"Xiaomin has prepared the money, steward, bring the money in."

Xiao Jinhong nodded, summoned the butler, and presented the money to the lobby.

"Master Xiao, here are all the 200 taels of silver ingots." The butler held the wooden tray in his hand, stood three steps away from Xiao Jinhong, and replied respectfully.

"Housekeeper, present it to Wan Lizheng."

"Yes, Mr. Xiao." The butler said.

Xiao Jinhong looked at the white silver taels on the wooden tray, and his eyes hurt.

200 taels was not much for the entire Xiao family's treasury, but if it was sent out in a waste of money, he would be really angry.

Wan Huaimin looked at a tray of silver ingots, frowned slightly, raised his eyes to look at Xiao Jinhong, and said in a soft and slow voice.

"Patriarch Xiao, let's change it to a bank note."

Xiao Jinhong was taken aback for a moment, then nodded with a smile.

"Housekeeper, go and change the bank notes."

"Yes, Mr. Xiao." The butler lowered his eyebrows and turned to go out.

The butler left for a while, and soon appeared in the lobby again. This time, on the wooden tray were two 100 taels of silver bills.

"Wan Lizheng, this is a bank note." The housekeeper walked up to Wan Huaimin with a smile on his face.

"Okay." Wan Huaimin accepted the banknote, looked at Xiao Qiu who was silent at the side, and raised the corner of his mouth.

"Patriarch Xiao, Gan County Magistrate is going to visit Qianfeng Town sometime, so don't run into him."

"Xie Wanli is reminding Xiaomin that he must keep it in mind." Xiao Jinhong bowed, and the moment he lowered his head, his eyes swept over Xiao Qiu.

Xiao Qiu regained his senses, swallowed his saliva and hurriedly said, "Xiao Min, please remember."

Wan Huaimin looked at the two of them, and it took him a long time before he made a sound.

"Patriarch Xiao, this official business has been done, so I won't take up your time here."

"Yes, Wanli is walking slowly." Xiao Jinhong lowered his eyes and sent him out of Xiao's residence.

After sending Wan Huaimin away, Xiao Jinhong looked at the people around him with unfriendly eyes, snorted, and left with his sleeves flung.

Obviously, he was angry and resentful towards him.

……

After Wan Huaimin and the others came out of Xiao's residence, Liu Qingcao stopped and looked back, feeling a little regretful.

"Qingcao, what are you looking at?" Seeing her regretful expression, Wan Huaimin asked suspiciously.

"Ha, it's just a pity that I lost a lot of money." Liu Qingcao said with a sneer.

Seeing her love of money so much, Wan Huaimin couldn't help laughing.

"200 taels, Patriarch Xiao was able to get it so smoothly due to the pressure of my official. If it was 400 taels, it would not be so easy."

"Wan Lizheng is right, the money is really hard to get."

Liu Qingcao raised her eyebrows, turned her head to look at Xiao's residence, and nodded in agreement.

"Qingcao, don't do this again, then Xiao Qiu will not suffer." Wan Huaimin reminded.

Liu Qingcao nodded with a smile, "Wan Lizheng, this Xiao Qiu is always doing evil in the town. Is it because you don't have enough evidence to punish him?" Liu Qingcao asked with her head tilted.

"Yeah, he always has various reasons to evade the punishment of the town government, but this time it's in your hands, haha." Wan Huaimin laughed heartily. After so many years, he finally said something. Bad breath.

"..."

Liu Qingcao was silent, not knowing what to say.

Wan Huaimin, as Lizheng, the head of a town, will be restrained by the official position in everything he does, and he will deal with people secretly. Once he is discovered, he will be affected, or take revenge, especially these wealthy merchants.

The so-called people don't fight with officials, the premise is that the power of officials can mostly suppress those merchant forces, otherwise, the deterrent power can only be halved.

Between them, it can only be said that they are restrained by each other.

And she, Liu Qingcao, is "different", if she can't understand Xiao Qiu's actions, she will deal with him secretly no matter whether he touches punishment or not.

This time, she simply asked him to bleed some blood. If there was a next time, she wouldn't mind giving him a surprise.

Arriving at Qianfeng Town, Wan Huaimin handed the two bank notes to Liu Qingcao, and before leaving, he also told her that Xiao Qiu will take revenge, so be careful and guard against him.

This is why Wan Huaimin persuaded Liu Qingcao to save 200 taels.

After all, the compensation of 200 taels of silver was not enough for Xiao Jinhong to take risks. Xiao Qiu would not be severely punished by Xiao Jinhong if he fell out with him.

After receiving the silver ticket, Liu Qingcao went back to Ruyi Building.

She has not forgotten that Ruyi Building still has a lot of mess waiting for her.

"Oh, it's a pity that the Ruyi building has been ruined like this." The big-eyed man looked at the debris brought out of the Ruyi building, shook his head and sighed.

The man with a flat nose beside him also sighed.

"Yeah, yeah, it's really not easy for us to eat this bite."

"I don't know when it will reopen, hey, we didn't pay for the food just now..." A man looked at the food in the broken bowl, suddenly thought of this, and whispered to his companion.

"Uh, why don't you make it up?" the companion asked hesitantly.

"But we didn't eat well, so, give me half?"

The two were in a dilemma, not knowing what to do.

Liu Qingcao stood behind them, leaning on the table, quietly listening to their discussion.

Seeing what they were talking about, she couldn't help but twitched the corners of her mouth, and walked towards Ruyi Building with a smile.

In the lobby of Ruyi Building, Ge Hongshan arranged for the restaurant staff to clean, Liu Xiao led his people to help arrange the tables and chairs, Qi Sanshan and others were small, and it was really laborious to move the solid wood, so he chose to scrub the table, chairs and stools.

She came in now, and everyone turned to look at her.

"Xiao Dong, are you okay?" Lin Er threw down the broom and ran over.

Liu Qingcao shook her head, and replied happily, "It's okay, I got the money successfully."

Ge Hongshan walked up to her with a worried expression on his face.

"Qingcao, Xiao Qiu is a scumbag, if you offended him this time, I'm afraid he will trouble you in the future."

He has been in the town for many years and knows a lot about Xiao Qiu. Today, she deceived him like this. With Xiao Qiu's personality, he might not let it go.

Liu Qingcao was heartbroken, and shook her head to comfort her, "Don't worry, Uncle Ge, he won't be free for a while."

"Ruyi Building accepts guests as usual, and those bottles, jars, and fragile items will not be placed." Liu Qingcao said again, thinking of the group of people outside the door.

Seeing that she didn't care much about Xiao Qiu's affairs, Ge Hongshan guessed that she must have plans in mind, so he stopped trying to persuade her.

"Qingcao, these people..."

Ge Hongshan looked at Liu Xiao and his group, hesitant to speak.

Liu Qingcao looked into his line of sight, wondering what he meant.

"Gerber, what's the matter?"

"Qingcao, these people have a lot of strength, are you buying it to farm?"

"Uncle Gerrard, do you want to keep someone in Ruyi Building as a caretaker?"

"I have this idea." Ge Hongshan said bluntly.

Liu Qingcao smiled and nodded.

"Then leave Liu Si in Ruyi Tower, I'm planning to do that too."

Hearing what she said, Ge Hongshan's eyes lit up, and he became excited.

Ruyi Building will have a caretaker in the future, and those who want to make trouble and take advantage of the opportunity will be more restrained, and the most important thing is to be able to protect the group of women at the door.

Liu Qingcao left Liu Si for Ruyilou, but still asked him to go back to Shihe Village. After getting acquainted with Shihe Village, he hurried to Qianfeng Town again.
